Reaching the unreached of West & Central Africa.

“For from the rising of the sun even to its setting,
My name will be great among the nations..., says the LORD of hosts.”

Malachi 1:11

What We Do

Our Mission

— — —

Though our methods have changed over the years, our mission has always remained the same: “opening up the bottleneck of laborers to the mission field.”

“Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.’” (Matthew 9:37–38)

Today, we live this out by coaching Catalysts to identify Persons of Peace among the unreached, who make disciples among their family and friends, who then do the same. A network of Home Gatherings begins to grow person to person, family to family, and region to region.

5-5-5 DMM is a decentralized system whose practices are simple and easily reproducible. The result is exponential multiplication of disciple-making, similar to what Jesus and the early disciples modeled (Matthew 9:35–10:15; Mark 6:6–13; Luke 10:1–12, 17–20; 2 Timothy 2:2).

A Different Approach

Same Mission. New Method.

The Traditional Model

Historically, we have focused on training a few centralized leaders, who then plant a church and become its pastor. Growth then depends on how many pastors can be trained and how many church buildings can be afforded. When a pastor reaches capacity, leaves, or slows down, growth usually falters or stops.

The 5-5-5 DMM Model

Instead of centralizing ministry in a few trained leaders, we coach ordinary believers to make disciples who make more disciples, person to person, family to family. Growth doesn't depend on one leader's capacity, so it exponentially multiplies.

The harvest is plentiful. Will you go with us?

Whether you give, pray, or come alongside us in person, every part of the body matters.
